Shaquille O'Neal - Rookie All-Star Game Highlights (14 Points, 3 Dunks, 1 Jumper)

February 21, 1993 - Midway through a first year campaign that saw him post averages of 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 3.5 blocked shots, Orlando Magic rookie Shaquille O'Neal made his presence felt in the 1993 NBA All-Star Game with a 14-point, 7-rebound performance as the East's starting center. Contrary to his latter years in the league, there are some oddities to be observed in O'Neal's performance. Namely, he connects on a free throw line jumper at 1:25 and has two of his dunks turned away at the rim (though the first block, by Charles Barkley, was technically whistled a foul). O'Neal would go on to be selected to 15 All-Star games altogether. Box Score: https://www.basketball-reference.com/allstar/NBA_1993.html
